Sugammadex, sold under the brand name Bridion, is a medication used to reverse the neuromuscular blockade of rocuronium and vecuronium. It is used by injection into a vein. Effects generally occur in 2 to 3 minutes.

Common side effects include cough, airway problems as the anesthesia wears off, low blood pressure, and an abnormal heart rate. Other side effects may include anaphylaxis, vomiting, and headache. It is a selective relaxant binding agent (SRBA) which combines with and inactivates certain medications.

Sugammadex was approved for medical use in Europe in 2008 and the United States in 2015. In the United Kingdom 2,000 mg costs the NHS about £600 as of 2021. This amount in the United States costs about 1,200 USD.
